The Facts On The Ground: Science, God, And The Testimony Of Great Thinkers

“Discoveries of the last half of the 20th century have brought the scientific community to the realization that our universe and our planet in the universe are so remarkably unique that it is almost impossible to imagine how this could have happened accidentally, causing many agnostic scientists to concede that indeed some intelligent creative force may be required to account for it.” –Dr. Walter Bradley, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A & M University

Is it reasonable to believe in God? Can we confidently believe? This is a quick description of some of the keys to unlocking the truth hidden in plain sight.

Science or God is a false choice. Don't subscribe to that. The Christian faith inspired some of the greatest scientists in history. That continues today. Is it reasonable to believe in God? Based on a great deal of inquiry, into multiple disciplines and from the testimony of great men and women over the ages, I do believe it is highly reasonable to believe in God.

There are a lot of lies and distortions out there. Don't believe it. They try to push this agenda, that it has to be science vs. God. But that is nonsense! God and science are not in conflict. People want to divide and conquer in that area though. Be careful for the bias in the media, in the sciences, history, philosophy, and in culture all together. Many of these quotes I'm sharing here do not fit the media narrative and the cultural narrative.

“Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system. I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance."

–Sir Isaac Newton

In my view the best argument for the existence of God is the argument from design. It screams very loudly from every angle, from the smallest cells in our bodies to the galaxies surrounding the milky way. Every small and large part of life testifies that God exists. Why? Because harmonious complexity does not come from random chance, it never has and it never will. Entropy, and the second law of thermodynamics.

To illustrate the the argument from design: It's like admiring a beautiful painting, of a lush forest with great mountains in the background. It's awe inspiring and magnificent. As you walk nearer to inspect the design you start to spot the brush marks on the canvass where the artist, the painter, the designer, brought the painting to life. In the same way, when we inspect the vast, incalculable complexity of the universe, and the cells of the human body, of nature, and the union of intersections all precisely tuned to allow for a natural order, we understand that we are seeing the paint brush strokes of a grand designer, we're seeing the handiwork of God himself.

“It's natural to be skeptical of a story like Noah. However, the greatest miracle in the Bible is not Noah and the flood. The greatest miracle in the Bible is recorded in the first verse: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." If that miracle is true, then every miracle in the Bible is at least possible (including Noah's Ark). If God created the universe, then He can do whatever He wants inside it.” –Frank Turek

Quite parallel to the argument from design is the Kalam cosmological argument. This argument basically indicates that something can't come from nothing. Travel back with me to the birth of the universe. The big bang if you believe in such a thing, where did it come from? Who generated the explosion? Nothing can't trigger a big bang. The universe can't pop into existence from nothingness, it makes no sense. The cosmological argument indicates that the best explanation for the existence of the universe is that a timeless, eternal, all powerful being created the universe.

To escape from this obvious conclusion atheist scientists will speculate that well, perhaps an infinite number of possible universes all exist at the same time in parallel dimensions and we just happen to be in the one where a perfect harmony was developed to allow for human life to flourish and sustain itself on a planet bearing natural plant life edible to humans with a perfect ecosystem to allow for life, plants, animals, and the planet itself all to sustain one another in a perpetuating circle of life.

They call this the multiverse theory. And the multiverse theory isn't just ridiculous, it's down right embarrassing. First, it's purely speculative to suggest an infinite number of universes all exist. There is no way to test such a theory. Second, Occam's razor cuts it off immediately as being much too far fetched and exceedingly complicated. It neglects a much more simple, and workable explanation: God. Third, the theory engenders a logical fallacy called special pleading. When cornered with a finely tuned universe, this is the special case scenario being entirely preposterous, is still suggested as an alternative to the elephant in the room: God.
